Commuter: Nashbar 29er single-speed. Heavy, rugged, dependable. It goes to work and back as much as my schedule and the weather allow. It's special because I feel nothing if it gets scratched/dented (just so long as it works). Road: Custom frame 700c. I built it for myself while considering a career making bicycles. It's special because it made the transition from inside my head over into the real world. The geometry was chosen on personal fit and some dynamic modeling I did based on this paper published by the Royal Society.

I wrote some code in python to replicate the dynamic model found in the referenced paper. If anyone knows kivy and is interested in making an app of it, let me know.
